Bike Friday Club
Owning a "Bike Friday" is a growing trend and there seems to be a growing interest in folding bicycles in general. For some people, the only thing standing between them and the open road is the little push that they need to get started. For these people, a bike club is the perfect motivation! By joining your "bike Friday" club, they will have a scheduled bike ride to look forward to and this will keep their bicycle from gathering dust and will get them out of the house and onto the bike trails!

Although many people own bicycles, they gather dust in a storage shed or attic because they are not easily transportable. They don't fit in your car or even your trunk. So how do you get it to a bike trail? It makes owning the typical bicycle an act of futility.
A folding bike though makes it possible to bring your bike to work or on vacation! This is why the "Bike Friday" was invented! It is a custom made, folding bicycle. There are many styles of official "Bike Friday" brand bicycles and they are available in a large range of prices anywhere from around $800 to $5000.
Owning a "Bike Friday" is a growing trend and there seems to be a growing interest in folding bicycles in general. Although folding bicycles are made by several companies, they are many times referred to as a "Bike Friday" very much like most facial tissue is referred to as "Kleenex" whether it is made by the manufacturers of "Kleenex" or not. Folding bicycles that are not "Bike Friday" brand have an even broader price range from just a few hundred dollars all the way up to several thousand. Some even come with hybrid electrical power!
You will organize a "Bike Friday" club in your area where everyone who owns a "Bike Friday" or other folding bicycle can get together and go on a bike ride together. You can organize nice long, relaxing rides and rides that offer more of a challenge for the more athletic riders. You can organize trips every Friday and on additional days as your club grows. You will charge a monthly fee for joining and belonging to the club and you will send each member of the club a "Bike Friday" newsletter letting them know about local bike paths and scheduled club rides. You can charge an additional fee for extended bike trips that you will organize.
You could even rent out different models of folding bikes to people interested in joining your "Bike Friday" club. This will give them a chance to see how easy a folding bicycle can be to use and show them also just how sturdy they are. They will become members of your club in no time at all after they see just how much fun having a folding bike can be!
After forming your club, the next thing you will need to do is find your members, many of which are probably already looking for you! You should register your folding bike club with online folding bike club reference sites. You should probably also set up your own website so that people performing web searches can find you easily. You should probably also print up flyers with your club information on them and post them in places where biking enthusiasts would frequent.
